Ventured out to Insa-dong last night to visit a nice little restaurant I discovered last year.

The Youngbin Garden is tucked away down the first alley on the right as you enter Insa-dong from Jong-no.

Pretty much standard fare for a Korean restuarant.  I had the pork galbi.

What makes the place different is the set up.  They have a nice garden patio surrounded by private dining rooms.

But with the weather as nice as it is, it is much more pleasant to eat under the stars on the patio, like these waeguks at the next table.

Of course, dinner is served with all the traditional side dishes I have come to know and love.

And as a special treat, a nice big bowl of dongdongju (rice wine).

Ah, meat’s on the fire.  Can’t you almost taste how good it’s gonna be?

Just about ready for the shears, wrapping in lettuce leaves, and filling that empty place in the gut.

Alas, no more photos as I was too busy consuming that Korean goodness.

Next time you are in Insa-dong, give Youngbin Garden a try.  It has the LTG seal of approval.
